Anything else you'd like to see a tutorial about?
Also if you have a tutorial you made and would like featured here, leave that in the comments too!
If you have QUESTIONS, its best to ask on either the FAQs page or better yet, make a post on the Activity section of the website.
Ralph can you make a goku use a fire ball. The only reason I’d like you to do it is because well I’d really like you to make an explosion animation or tutorial
Hey tazi.
What you’re asking is more of an animation-based tutorial (rather than something Stick Nodes related). There’s actually probably already tutorials for that type of stuff (explosions) on Youtube or somewhere already (most likely for Pivot rather than Stick Nodes, but the general idea is still the same).
Also, you can check out Sean’s Kamehameha pack which has some cool blasts already created for you.
If you search “explosion” on stickfigures, there’s a really good one I use
I love working with sticknodes but after starting a project and saving it I can’t seem to be able to open it again.
Never mind I figured it out. Sorry
Thanks so much ralph
How do u add your animations to youtube
Hey PartyMaster86,
Well, if you have the Pro version, you can just export an mp4. If you don’t have the Pro version, you’ll need to convert the gif to an mp4 with another app or program.
Once you have your video file, you’ll just share it to Youtube like you would any other video. The mp4 should be in your Camera Roll/Gallery, just select it and share it to Youtube.
Ralph can you add this in stick nodes every frame different since that’s so can we change the speed of the where we can make one last 4 seconds and the other 10 that’s what I mean
Hey tazi. I assume you’re talking about the framerate?
It is possible I suppose, I never considered it before. I think it might be better to leave it as is though.
At the moment, I don’t think I’ll implement it because it’s not very standard (I’ve rarely seen animation-based software that allows for that type of thing). Plus I can’t see much use for it. You can always have a delay by just duplicating a frame a bunch, you know?
Yeah I do thanks
hey,how can we draw in the app like where and how cause ive seen someone do it but didnt say how did you do the drawng part? so how do we draw
Hey jordy,
Not completely sure what you’ve seen, but there is no “drawing” in Stick Nodes in the traditional sense. You can build stickfigures in create mode by clicking the “Create stickfigure” button under “Library Tools.”
I was looking around here trying to find something useful (most of these comments are just questions I know the answer to), and stumbled across this comment. I remember watching a tutorial a while back that has the answer, so here’s the link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg-Gon4V2EE I hope you found this helpful
That is what I want to know
